Game 2 of the Women's College World Series is set for Thursday night as the Texas Tech Red Raiders look to even the score and force a clincher against the Texas Longhorns. Unfortunately, the action's delayed, as bad weather in the area has forced back first pitch from 8 p.m. ET until at least 8:45.
The all-Texas matchup got off to a hot start on Tuesday with Texas Tech establishing an early lead in Game 1 before the Longhorns' resilience proved to be the key in a 2-1 victory.
Texas' Teagan Kavan and Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady put on a pitching showcase for their respective teams. Kavan allowed only one unearned run and three hits, and she tallied her 24th consecutive inning without allowing an earned run.
Canady struck out seven hitters in six innings but ultimately could not hold the lead for her team, despite being one of the best pitchers in college softball this season. The game ultimately came down to the bottom of the sixth inning, when Texas Tech attempted to intentionally walk Reese Atwood, and Canady gave her a hittable pitch. Atwood drove in two runs with a single to ultimately seal the win for the Longhorns.
"It's a close game, you gotta take risks," Atwood said. "The first pitch, I thought I could have hit. And the next one, she kind of slowed down on it so I took my chance and I got it."
